After dinner Matt, and Mary did the dishes, Simon and Lucy cleaned the table and took care of the twins while Ruthie was in her room while Eric and Annie were in the den talking.

"I feel like I should have said something." Mary says.

"Like what?' Matt asked when Lucy and Simon were done so they took the twins upstairs, Simon was playing with them while Lucy went to talk to Ruthie.

"Well, remember when I was worried about something and I didn't want to talk about it? Well, the thing is my teacher who was the sister of Susan, who talked about dad and her relationships then I saw the picture of her and dad then and of her now and she hasn't changed much. So I talked to Julie who said that my teacher wasn't really telling the truth and well I still think Susan may be on the rebound cause her husband died a few months ago. I was just worried as to how dad will react if mom sees the letters or the phone call. And after what Ruthie did I think she made it worse by hiding the letters then the ring comes up too."

"I think mom and dad appreciates that you are looking after them and well, maybe mom figured that dad didn't read the letters cause it was ripped up or she really trusts him." Matt says.

"I know, I'm worried now." Mary says as Eric and Annie who overheard what Mary said about her teacher walk in.

"I think that's sweet you are looking out for your father and me." Annie says as she gives Mary a hug as well as Eric.

"So, is everything going to be okay?" Matt asked as Eric had his arm around Matt's neck.

"Yeah." Eric says as Annie hugs Eric.

Twenty minutes later while Lucy was watching tv, Matt was out with his girlfriend, Mary went out as well, Simon was on the phone with Deena with the double doors open so he can watch the twins, Eric went to talk to Ruthie while Annie went to take a shower.

"What are we doing?" Eric asked after Ruthie told him to come in when he knocked.

"Nothing. I'm sorry dad, I just-I don't know why I was reading those letters and I thought it was interesting cause you ripped them and threw them out." Ruthie said.

"I see, do why was it interesting?"

"I don't know, cause it was from an ex-girlfriend?" Ruthie said.

"Ruthie you have to stop snooping around, people won't trust you if they find out that you did. Also there will be a reason why people don't want others to know things."

"Like why you were ripping those letters without mom knowing?" Ruthie asked.

"Ruthie!"

"Hello? Hi Julie, what's up? Okay, I see. Listen, I was going to call you but since you are on right now are you doing anything tonight? I need to talk to you about something. Okay see you in a bit, bye." Eric picked up the phone and spoke to Julie then hung up.

"Dad?"

"Do you think things will be okay with you and mom?" Ruthie asked.

"You are grounded till further notice and you need to worry about things between you, me and your mother." Eric said then left.

Eric sees Annie downstairs then told her that Julie had called and is going to see her, he tells her he talked to Ruthie and is not sure why she was reading those letters then Annie gave him the letters but told him that the ring was to beautiful to throw away which she said that she wanted to sell it if it was okay with him, he told her yes then they both kissed each other then Eric went to see Julie. Eric talked to Julie at her home since she couldn't leave cause Hank might have an emergency call to the hospital and the kids were asleep as was Hank was at the time.

"So when do want to see him?" Eric asked.

"You have his number?"

"Yes, then call him and ask him." Eric says then laughs a little.

Eric first called the house, Simon picked up the phone in the kitchen since he was getting a drink, he got the number for Eric as Eric jotted it down, Eric thanked him then hung up. They decide to meet a few days later in Eric's office then Eric talked about the letters and Ruthie, he thanked Julie for helping Mary out and liked that she was looking out for him and Annie. He then left for home then went to bed not knowing that Mary was already home and in bed and Matt later came home from his date and went to bed.

Meanwhile-

Mary was at the guy's place that isn't far from the college, she likes him, as he does like her. She sits on his bed, as he tried to make a move on her, she pushes him away and he doesn't understand why she did that. He said that every girl who does that is not liked then as he has his back turned to her, she sees pornography then tells him that she does not want to go out with him as she runs out then gets home. She gets home then goes to bed, wishing Matt or Eric were home but she realizes she made a good choice.

Few days later Julie and Jeff talk in Eric's office then Eric left to counsel some parishioners. Few minutes later Hank gets to meet Jeff on his lunch then thanks him for saving Julie and before the meeting, Julie told Hank about what he did.

"I'm glad that I got to talk to you Julie. I felt bad for how I treated you and no excuse can make it better."

"It's okay. I'm glad that you are doing well as well as your wife and son."

"Just out of curiousity, does Eric know what you did to her?" Hank asked

"No, he knew that Jeff had another girlfriends and heard that they were treated badly but he didn't know exactly what he did."

"You mean to tell me that he never knew?" Hank said laughing as he, Julie and Jeff left.
